  German Literature
Literature as an art suffered by being pressed into the service of religious controversy; it became polemic or didactic, and its prevailing form was prose.
Literature was devoid of originality and substance; the formal side absorbed the chief attention of the writers.
Literature in their hands was a mere product of scholarship, entirely out of touch with the people.

 Italian Literature
As another result, Italian literature has borne from its earliest days a strongly marked classicism, not only in the narrow sense of adherence to classical principles of style, but also in the broader sense of respect for tradition.
It fuses, too, the secular motifs of the age; the threads of the amatory conventions of the courtly love, the satiric postures of earlier vernacular writings, the idealization of knightly virtues are all woven into the philosophical-theological tapestry.
These academies were of interest primarily to the scholars and philosophers of the time, and were mainly concerned with subjects tangential to literature; it might even be contended that their influence on literature proper was not a healthy one.

 American Literature Lectures, Part I
With the Renaissance vogue of travel literature the writings of Smith are intimately connected; to Renaissance poetic models the poetry of Anne Bradstreet owes at least its form and probably its existence.
With unconcsious faithfulness this Puritan literature reflects the Puritan mind: its rigid Calvinism, its morbid consciousness of sin, its superstition, its austerity, its stoical bravery, its vein tenderness, its preference of morality to beauty, its contradictory tendencies toward orthodoxy and nonconformity.
Puritan literature is antique in manner and often in matter; yet it treats profoundly a few subjects of universal and permanent importance, such as the relation between church and state, and the source and functions of governmental sovereignty.

While some steadfast scholars and critics of 18th Century writing maintain that Haywood's works do not qualify as "high" or classical literature because of the sexual content of her novels, she should not be overlooked.
There is a saying, clich=E9 though it may be, that "imitation is the most sincere form of flattery." If that is the case, then Haywood, were she still alive, would be flattered to death by the countless imitators attempting to duplicate what she succeeded with in Love in Excess.

 Literature « Heaven Tree
Roth made me think of the aesthetic aspects of literature – and, by extension, the reasons why English literature does not quite fascinate me as it seems to fascinate others.
There is just way too much focus on the plot, if you ask me. (And not just me: an English novelist recently complained about it, on BBC, saying: "I constantly feel the discomfort of the little finger of the plot goading me on in the small of my back").
Because, of course, what makes literature the joy it is – to me, anyway – is precisely the way it can fascinate us – put us under a mind-boggling, be-fuddling, stupefying spell.

 American Literature & History
American literature, in its most basic structure, has it roots in British literature.
The separation of British and American literature began from the first step onto what is now American soil, but rejoins moreso in this present era, as the ability to communicate and purchase books internationally increases.
Literature is always conjoined to the circumstances it is written in, and is always influenced by the world around it.

 4.7 Finnish literature
Lönnrot was under the influence of Homeric ideals and tried to forge the poems into a single epic, adding bits and pieces of his own and altering some parts to make them appear a whole, which they however never have been.
Nevertheless, its role to the development of Finnish literature, arts and identity can hardly be over-estimated, and having been translated to all major world languages and lots of minor ones, it is no doubt the most important contribution of Finland to world literature.
Snellman's chief achievement was in his role as a national awakener, the editor of two newspapers, strongly encouraging literature as part of the process leading to independence.

 Preoccupations: Literature
In one of his recent LRB pieces he recollects a period in the 1950s when studying English literature was not just regarded as important, but as the most valuable intellectual and moral activity a civilised man or woman could pursue.
As Cornelius Ernst (see here, paras 6 and 7; Tim's address), my favourite twentieth century theologian, puts it: 'I cannot think of a single clerical philosopher of real distinction since the Middle Ages (and whether it is appropriate to speak of any medieval thinker as a 'philosopher' is of course problematic)'.
The world, he would say, was so much smaller than we thought it; we were all so connected by fate without knowing it; people supposed to be far apart were so constantly elbowing each other; and to-morrow bore so close a resemblance to nothing half so much as to yesterday.

 The Literature of Lesbianism; ; Edited by Terry Castle
The selection of works is both generous and revelatory, including much excellent unfamiliar material, and a number of real surprises.
From Renaissance love poems to twentieth-century novels, plays, and short stories, The Literature of Lesbianism brings together hundreds of literary works on the subject of female homosexuality.
As Castle demonstrates, it is hardly the taboo or forbidden topic we sometimes assume it to be, but has in fact been a central preoccupation for many of our greatest writers, past and present.

Shakespeare, Aphra Behn and the Canon is one section of A210 Approaching Literature (the other parts deal with the Realist Novel, Literature and Gender and Romantic Poetry - find out more below).
Structured study texts teach you how to deal with the language of the plays, while supporting audio-visual materials (featuring performances by Laurence Olivier and Fiona Shaw) get you to think about what happens when a five hundred year old play is put on the stage today.
And to help you think about Shakespeare and 'the canon' we also include study of a play that was until recently almost unknown, Aphra Behn's The Rover (1676), presented here in an exciting, colourful and specially recorded video performance.
